Panerista Posted August 24, 2016 Share Posted August 24, 2016 (edited) The down arrow on the Guaranteed Rate logo is perfect for this organization. Edited August 24, 2016 by Deadpool Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TitoMB345 Posted August 24, 2016 Share Posted August 24, 2016 Hahahahahahaha, is this not the worst name in MLB history? Oh my god, Guaranteed Rate Field aka Gauranteed Rate Field cause I GUARANTEE a lot of people misspell this word. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buehrle>Wood Posted August 24, 2016 Share Posted August 24, 2016 QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Aug 24, 2016 -> 03:53 PM) Who is guaranteed rate? Mortgage company? Yes. Sounds like a pawn shop or company that airs late night predatory loans commericals. Oh my God that logo is going to be all over our ballpark. You can't make this up. Wow.

Harry Chappas Posted August 24, 2016 Share Posted August 24, 2016 QUOTE (Chicago White Sox @ Aug 24, 2016 -> 03:39 PM) What stadium name is worse? Globe Life Stadium All of them named after a product of some sort are all bad except Cincinnati Petco, Progressive, Safeco, Wrigley, Citi, Tropicana, Target, Rogers, PNC, Miller, Coors, Comerica, Citizens, Chase, Busch and AT & T They are all the same so what the hell difference does it make. They would be named something if the money was right. Also, I do not think the White Sox have anything to do with this as it is not their stadium as they lease it from the state of Illinois. I also financed through them and they were awesome. David Hochberg has got to be pissed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

QUOTE (Tony @ Aug 24, 2016 -> 03:47 PM) It also isn't home to a professional franchise in a major 4 sport. True, but I wasn't restricting to pro sports. How about the SAC Kings with Sleep Train Arena? QUOTE (Deadpool @ Aug 24, 2016 -> 03:48 PM) HAHAHA That's GRate! Honestly, just calling it Grate Field for short works okay.

Lip Man 1 Posted August 24, 2016 Share Posted August 24, 2016 Jokes have already started across the internet..."Guaranteed" mediocrity..."Guaranteed" not to make the playoffs...and the company logo (arrow pointing down is to funny for words...) I wonder if the money must go towards the upkeep of the stadium or if it can be used for other purposes and I wonder how much the deal is worth.

chitownsportsfan Posted August 24, 2016 Share Posted August 24, 2016 This franchise is a f***ing joke. If I had a time machine I think I'd go back and make my father a Tigers fan or some s*** so I wouldn't have been raised on the White Sox.

I don't know man, somehow this seems like a step down. Maybe it's just the novelty and in a week it'll sound like every other corporate name. But that down arrow logo is really something. That will be bad forever. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
